CN50 Battery 101

Intermec CN50 Battery 101

Your Intermec CN50 can use either a standard or extended battery as its main power source. The standard battery has a 7.2 Watt hour capacity and the extended battery has a 14.4 Watt hour capacity. There are several factors that determine the life of your battery such as display brightness, display timeout, input devices, extreme temperatures and your usage.

You should fully charge the battery before you use your Intermec CN50. When you change your battery, it will automatically go into a power off state and then cold boot.

To Charge the Battery

Insert the battery into a quad charger, a single/multi dock or attach external power to the Intermec CN50 with the battery installed.

Push forward on the battery release tab until the battery releases, and then lift it away from the Intermec CN50.

Insert the bottom of a fully charged battery into the CN50 and press down until it clicks into place.

If necessary, replace the handstrap.

Maximizing Battery Life

Batteries are chemical devices. If the batteries are left sitting on a shelf for long periods of time outside the Intermec CN50, the batteries slowly discharge, eventually to zero if left uncharged. See the following table for tips to maximize the life of your battery.

When You Want To:

Do This to Save Battery Power

Operate the CN50 and the Low Battery status icon appears or the Battery light comes on.

Save your data and then go to Start > Programs > Shut Down. After the CN50 shuts down, remove the battery and insert another fully charged battery. Or, you can connect the CN50 to an external power source.

Stop using the CN50 for five minutes or longer.

Make sure the low battery icon is not on the screen and that the battery light is not turned on. Press the power button to suspend the Intermec CN50.

Store the CN50 for more than a day.

If you are storing the CN50 for a few days, such as over the weekend, install the charged battery or attach the CN50 to an external power source.

If you are storing the CN50 for longer, remove and charge the battery, then store both the battery and the CN50 in a cool location.

If the battery in storage is not used in several months, you should recharge the battery to keep it at its performance peak.

Store the battery outside the CN50

Store the batteries in a charger connected to power.
